The brig or holding cell was a location area on a starship for securely detaining individuals.
In mid-2373, the USS Cantabrian's acting commanding officer Elizabeth Singh threw several brawling visitors into one of the Cantabrian's brigs. She threatened to leave them there for the entire journey to Starbase Expanse 7 if they didn't agree to start behaving. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Isolation")
After having committed treason, Riov Tormod was imprisoned in the RIS Bouteina's brig on Deck 22 before the IRW Temarex brings him back to a prison world. (RIS Bouteina: "Manhunt")
On planet-side starbases, such as Unity Three Starbase, brigs were usually a separate building. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Murder Grove")
